COME SCARICARE LE SPESE E PAGARE MENO TASSE| Avv. Angelo Greco

Proposal to Encourage Invoiced Work

The video argues that many households accept off-the-books work because an invoice adds 22% VAT, making legal services seem more expensive. This sustains tax evasion and puts law-abiding tradespeople at a competitive disadvantage.

Angelo Greco proposes allowing households to deduct a substantial share of certain expenses—such as home repairs, renovations, and personal services—from their taxes, provided they pay electronically and receive an invoice.

Example of the Proposed Scheme

Greco suggests a temporary scheme offering a 50% tax deduction on up to €5,000 of eligible expenses per household each year. Under this hypothetical arrangement, a €1,000 invoiced repair would effectively cost the customer €500 after the deduction, making an under-the-table discount less appealing.

Expected Benefits

Greco argues that the proposal would give customers an incentive to request invoices, making them “the first tax inspectors.” Although the state would provide tax relief, he says it could recoup revenue through newly declared work, VAT, and social-security contributions. The scheme could also support fair competition and encourage respect for the law.

This is presented as a proposal, not as an existing measure.
